OPNFV Internship Program

OPNFV Internship is for University students–either undergraduate or graduate–who are interested in contributing to the OPNFV project. Each intern will be working with a mentor in the OPNFV community to complete a project either in 3 or 6 months (interns are expected to dedicate a minimum of 20 hours a week on their project). This is a paid internship program and the internship project can start any time of the year (i.e. not just limited to summer in the northern hemisphere). Finally, we welcome interns from anywhere in the world.

Tips for Mentors

Mentorship is be critical for a successful internship project. Please remember that in many cases, you will be working with students in a different part of the world, so an effective communication and guidance will be crucial.

If you are interested in mentoring an internship project, you can start by adding a new project idea at the intern projects page. Please note that the more detail you can provide on the project page, the more likely your potential interns will understand what you are looking for.
